What is the very first thing you do when you have a reading assignment in a school textbook? Do you count the number of pages to read…then silently grumble about the teacher who assigned all those pages? Do you look to see how many pictures and graphs are in the chapter, because that means fewer words on a page?

If so, you have already made academic reading more difficult because you are approaching the assignment as a chore - something to get out of the way.  This is called passive reading and it always leads to daydreaming, re-reading, and what we call "page amnesia" (reading an entire page then instantly forgetting what you just read). As you already know, passive reading is not efficient or effective.

In this program, we will show you how to efficiently and effectively read complex (and boring) academic material through a variety of flexible techniques that conform to your preferred thinking style. By the end of this program you will be able to:

     Read faster with better comprehension, retention and recall
     Improve your concentration while reading (avoid daydreaming & re-reading)
     Take concise and useful notes while reading
     Find the type of information that will be on tests (even if the teacher doesn't tell you)
     Shorten overall amount of time required to complete a reading assignment
     Read all types of information with critical perspective
     Quickly and accurately find key information in all types of materials

 

To ensure you benefit immediately, we will show you (during the class sessions) how to apply our strategies in your current textbooks. That’s right, you will actually be getting homework done during this program. Equally important, if you apply the strategies correctly (with our help) you will definitely improve your reading speed and comprehension before you finish our program.

This is not a "give me some handouts and I'm out of here" course. You will practice the primary reading technique for 10 minutes of each class session. The remainder of each session will involve hands-on activities that will improve your reading and thinking skills - which includes memory improvement.

NOTE: Though it's not required, many students have continued to practice the techniques outside the classroom and have achieved extraordinary results in a short period of time.


 

All class sessions will take place at your school, and can be scheduled to coincide with your normal course times. Class size for each session will be limited to 10, but several sessions will be offered throughout the day and evening to accommodate your individual schedule.

Typically, the 10-hour program will run for two weeks with 50 to 60 minute sessions meeting every day (Monday through Friday).

Variations of this schedule are possible based on student interest.
 

We recognize that you have a full schedule while in school, so we have structured this program to meet your particular needs. For an example, visit our page called "Frequently Asked Questions by Students".
 

You should bring only your current homework assignments since you will be applying the reading strategies directly to these assignments.

At the start of the program you will receive a TL Student Workbook which contains:

  All the reading strategies
  Step-by-step guidelines for implementing the strategies
  Templates for note-taking
  Templates for time management & organization
  Color-coded dividers for easy reference

Yes, for every 10 paid enrollments we provide one full scholarship (1 free enrollment) or 2 partial scholarships (2 half-price enrollments). Typically, your school will decide which students receive the scholarships (based on financial need).

If you don't qualify for a scholarship, you can still receive a free enrollment by posting seminar flyers around your school's campus - see Job Opportunities.
